Monday morning came in a blur and with it, a thundering round of applause from the operations department. Rowan was the first to hug and congratulate her as she stepped off the elevator. Priya followed, making a show of sobbing dramatically and saying she missed Azaria so much. Azadia laughed at her antics and hugged her back. A few others followed, patting her, shaking her hand and welcoming her back. Someone popped a bottle of wine and glasses went around.
"Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic," the man announced and others laughed. "Can't have us drunk during this system crisis."
Azaria was cheered on to make a speech. She laughed and thanked them all for their support and that they never stopped believing in her. She said she would get the systems completely back in order as it was before she left and even make it better with their help. She said she would make sure the system crash would never happen again and everyone cheered.
